What the school should improve
- The school's assessment systems are not used consistently well in some subjects to make sure that pupils' learning is secure. This means that, at times, pupils move on to new learning before they are ready. The school should ensure that all staff are fully equipped to check that pupils' knowledge is secure before moving on to new topics.
